Historic Hawke's Bay and East Coast
Author: Matthew Wright
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781869537791
Category : Hawke's Bay (N.Z.)
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
Typical of many parts of the country, the North Island's east coast and Hawke's Bay was founded with energy, enthusiasm and a dash of adventuring spirit. This is reflected in photos where people from all walks of life pose outside their homes or in their Sunday best, go to the beach, mess about in boats or simply get on with life - in fact doing things not dissimilar to what we do today. The fascination, however, is seeing just how much has changed over the years. We can also share something of the turmoil and emotion of the disastrous 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake, and marvel at development across the districts, evident in the growth of settlements, the wresting of farmland from rugged landscapes, as well as the proliferation of railways, roads and bridges linking the region's places and peoples. Much of New Zealand's history since the arrival of Europeans has been captured through photographs. Historic Hawke's Bay and East Coast is part of a series that showcases many of the provinces's important places as well as events, both great and small. These beautifully reproduced black-and-white images tell the story of the region, its people and places, with a vividness only historic photographs can offer.

The Māori History and Place Names of Hawke's Bay
Author: John Duncan Henry Buchanan
Publisher: Raupo
ISBN: 9780790009711
Category : Hawke's Bay (N.Z.)
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Maori History and Place Names of Hawke's Bay is a well-regarded regional history made available once more in this new edition. It represents a valuable study of Maori culture and a permanent record of people and place names in the Hawke's Bay that have always been known – but not always located – since early times. In the late 1940s J.D.H. Buchanan began studying, collecting and recording local traditions, conversations with district elders, family genealogies, early survey maps and Maori Land Court proceedings in the Hawke's Bay area. Following his death in 1961, Buchanan's notes were edited by David Simmons. Beginning form the moment Maori arrived in the area on the Takitimu, the book traces the history of local iwi including Ngati Kahungungu, Rangitane and Ngati Awa. Also featured are meticulous plans of pa sites, aerial photographs of the countryside, and a comprehensive gazetteer of place names.
